Evan-Moor Daily Language Review, Grade 5 Teaching Edition

Good for homeschool

I purchased this for my 7th grade Language Arts ESEP kids because they are functioning on such a low level. Since I purchased the %delete, I project the daily review on the board as their Bellringer/Warm-up and it gives them a great review on the many skills that they should have learned already. If it is something they had trouble with, then we do a quick mini-lesson. They absolutely love doing it on the board and it saves me time and paper since I don't need to photocopy it.

I love the %delete version of the Daily Language Review. I use it as a starter bell ringer work each morning. Sometimes we will just do the two proofreading samples if time is limited. The versitity is great since it is projected onto my SmartBoard! I will be using this for many years to come!

I use this as a 5 minute warm-up before writing workshop. I've found that it is a great reveiw and practice of grammar skills and conventions. Students have to apply what they know and also learn new skills. I like the fact that the skills repeat throughout the weeks so that students get continual practice and review.

We homeschool and use Evan Moor curriculum. We just started using ebooks this year with my son. I didn't think he would be able to read and fill in all of his lesson in the First Grade Daily Language Review book but he had it down by day two. He knows where to click on the computer to use the typewriter feature. He can easily read and fill in the pages the work is challenging but not frusterating. I have him do the fix the sentence longhand as a penmanship practice at the end of each lesson so it's the best of both worlds language, computer and penmanship practice. Another fantastic Evan Moor product!

I started every class period with this. It was on the Smartboard when they entered the classroom. They corrected the sentences in their notebook. When completed, the students would take turns coming to the Smartboard to correct them there. If any of their answers were incorrect, we took time to discuss why. Then the students would correct those mistakes, and we would be ready for core instruction. It took about 15 minutes to do this each day. As a result, their end of the year assessment scores were awesome. I credit their success to the usage of this Daily Language Review.

I am a tutor of elementary age students, and have always used and loved the, "Daily Language Review" books! Not having them at home was a disadvantage to my program. I went to Evan-Moor's website and found I could order them as an Ebook! I ordered what I needed with ease, and in seconds it was downloaded onto my computer for my use forever!! :) I will definitely look into other books this way from Evan-Moor.

Students enter the room an begin their DOL as a daily routine. Whole group we discuss our answers based on student response. This opens dialogue for what makes their choices correct and/or incorrect. You have the option to follow the weekly schedule or correlate to a specific language arts area.

I use Daily Language Review, grade 2 and grade 1, with small groups. Additionally, the Review workbooks may be used with a whole class. Based on my observations, the students and I have productive discussions about language use, especially the "Correct the sentences" section. I find that the explicit instructions which are garnered from our discussions are "light bulb" moments for the students.

I just wish that at the beginning of each week there would be a list of all of the things to cover before assigning the Daily Language Review. Every once in a while I am caught off guard and there is a question about a topic that I haven't quite covered yet. Just a quick reference sheet for teacher's for the week for make this book my favorite!
